Rising malpractice premiums are blocking the creation of new transgender “clinics” for teenagers.
“I didn’t anticipate that it was going to be a big deal,” Andy Rowe, the healthcare operations director for The Project of the Quad Cities, told Time magazine.
Rowe had called the clinic’s insurance broker to inquire about getting a new provider added to the organization’s malpractice policy.
The Project of the Quad Cities is an LGBTQ+ clinic located in Moline, Illinois, which has been trying to provide transgender-related medical procedures for minors living across state lines, where such practices are banned.
The organization embarked on this endeavor in June, and by early November, Rowe found that more than a dozen malpractice insurers had declined to offer the clinic a policy.
After five months of searching for malpractice insurance, Rowe finally received a quote for a policy that would allow The Project of the Quad Cities to offer transgender procedures for children, but “that’s when he realized finding a policy was only the first hurdle,” Time reported.
It turned out that coverage that Rowe had anticipated would cost $8,000 to $10,000 a year was instead quoted at $50,000.
Meanwhile, in New Mexico, family medicine physician Anjali Taneja said the clinic she works at was quoted “double what we paid a few years ago” to cover transgender procedures for adults.
While independent clinics and medical practices have been relocating across state lines to offer such medical procedures to minors, they are quickly finding out that obtaining malpractice insurance on the commercial marketplace has become a barrier, even in states that allow such practices...

“Logic”. A personality trait not possessed by liberals
No peaceful coexistence!
Those pesky consequences.
I have been reading on this and the “bottom” surgeries for both almost always result in 3-5 “correction surgeries” because the first one was a failure. They all have bad infections, and complications. Doctors cannot play god and change the creation.
Many of us here at FR have predicted that malpractice insurance companies would eventually either refuse to cover such physicians and hospitals, or would make the coverage cost prohibitive.
As the lawsuits by victims continue to grow in number there will be fewer and fewer insurance companies that will write policies to cover these treatments and medical procedures.
Excellent!
“Rising malpractice insurance rates hinder clinics from offering transgender procedures...”
Fir the children it warms the hearts, but Dollars for donuts liability rates will extend to all ages. Insurance companies aren’t in it for the gamble.
I’m surprised no one else saw this coming.
I wonder when the dems will try to cap insurance rates for these procedures.
Money talks.
Doctors cannot play god and change the creation.

Since “transgender procedures for children” do not treat the underlying mental illness while opening the door to serious physical problems, the whole concept constitutes malpractice. The long term losses are astronomical and almost certain. The patient base includes suicidal psychotics desperately seeking relief, and many are not going to find it.
Offering coverage for a mere $50,000 annual premium seems foolish beyond comprehension. The insurance company shareholders need to purge their woke management before they are ruined.
Great news indeed. Glad someone stepped up with a solution to a problem that shouldn’t exit at all if common sense were still a thing.
You are surgically or chemically removing, mutilating or disabling healthy body parts. What’s the risk?
You forgot, you are also pumping bodies full of hormones that only exist in limited amounts while blocking the hormones that *should* be present. This doesn’t sound healthy at all!
Bottom surgery = 3-5 corrective surgeries? Why isn’t this info readily available? I’ve tried to research medical problems associated with ‘gender affirming care,’ and it’s almost impossible to web search. Search engines return trans activist rewritten results. I don’t think very many transgender-identifying people get genital mutilation surgery, but I would think this info would be easier to find.
Can you provide a link, so I can read about this?

Fake Feel-Good Science vs. Actuarial Science
Actuarial science wins.
Hormones are not safe even if they are not used for transitioning.
Side effects are horrid. The GERD was so bad I have a ruined GASTRO TRACT. Barrett’s Esophagus is a pre-cancer, which is only monitored every 3 years.
I’ll tell you what’s gonna happen.
Deep State will do for this what it did for CoupFlu and provide immunity from civil suits for Big Med and Big Pharma.
